Masculine Card With Brea Reese Alcohol Inks

October 17, 2019

Hey peeps.  I’m back with another masculine card with Brea Reese alcohol inks.  I know many of us struggle with making masculine cards.  I’m trying to break that cycle and make at least one masculine card a week so I have plenty on hand when I need them. Making masculine cards with Brea Reese alcohol inks is quick and easy.

For today’s card I wanted to add lots of texture to my card for a really cool look.  First I applied three darks colors of ink onto 110lb card stock with a blending tool.  Next I came back in with a piece of felt wrapped around the edge of a straight ruler and laid down a few irregular stripes with yellow, red and green inks.  This gave a great color variation.  Once this panel was dried I ran it through my die cutting machine with an embossing folder.  I have done this technique before and I always love how it looks.

Keeping this card clean and simple, I die cut out a quick thanks sentiment from Simon Says Stamp using brown and yellow card stock.  Next I stamped out a sentiment from the Thankful Heart stamp set also from Simon Says Stamp and heat embossed it in gold embossing powder.  I trimmed that piece down to form a small banner I could pop under the thanks die cut. I also swiped on a small amount of gold alcohol over there raised areas of the background. To finish off the card I adhered it to a yellow card base.

I’m so happy with the way this card turned out. What’s so amazing with the Brea Reese alcohol inks, the variations of backgrounds are endless.  Here’s a close up of this stunning card. You can click on my Brea Reese Alcohol Inks link to see more projects from me.

I would love to see what designs you come up with using Brea Reese alcohol inks. Make sure to tag me on Instagram so I can see your work.  Have a great day everyone and I’ll see you back here soon.

Alcohol Ink Textured Background – Let’s Go Masculine Today

August 7, 2019

Hey peeps.  I’m back sharing a masculine alcohol ink textured background. Whew say that three times fast.😂 These types of alcohol ink backgrounds are super easy to make.  Running these backgrounds through an embossing folder really plays up the color and design.  Let me show you the project I have for you today.

Masculine Alcohol Ink Background

As you know I love playing with the Brea Reese alcohol inks.  The colors are gorgeous and really easy to work with.  You can see other projects I’ve made by clicking the Brea Reese link here on my blog. Usually I would use the watercolor paper from Brea Reese however this time I used regular Neenah Solar White 110 lb card stock for my background.

To achieve this look I added the ink to a piece of felt and ran it back and forth over the paper.  Achieving that beautiful almost leather-like feel I mixed cadmium red, cadmium yellow and orange inks together.  I kept going back and forth over the paper until the colors blended into each other creating that brown leather look.  For an added pop of color I swiped over the entire piece with turquoise. Adding some fine gold mist was the last step before I set the paper aside until it was dried completely.

Masculine Alcohol Ink Background

The next day I pulled out a weave pattern embossing folder and ran the panel through my Gemini Jr. machine to create this very masculine texture.  The pressure from the embossing folder also helped to flatten out my panel.  Up close it really does look like leather. I didn’t want to add too much to this card so a simple sentiment of thanks and a white card base completed this card.

Today marks the last day of my holiday card series Today marks the last day of my holiday card series for 2024. Thank you all for your support of watching the videos. You support of my little channel really matters. You can catch the tutorial over on my Youtube channel. 

I used the @simonsaysstamp Old Fashioned Christmas stamps and diecuts. My husband is a fan of old fashions so#cardtutorial  this was the perfect Christmas card for him.  I did a light watercoloring over the images and used the beautiful Simon Says Stamp Basket Weave embossing folder for the background. I do love a clean white on white card. 

I'll be sharing a few more cards in the coming days. These cards I didn't have time to film but I hope you will enjoy the inspiration.
